Description
From the heart of the Diamond Mountain District, Rainin Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon captures the essence of its volcanic, porous soils and elevated northern location. Meticulously divided into small blocks, the vineyard nurtures each vine to coax opulent power and depth. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine reflects both precision winemaking and the vineyard's natural character. Founded in 1998 by Jen and Frances Rainin, the estate embodies passion, care, and a joyful spirit that resonates in every bottle. Rainin is a bold, expressive, and enduring testament to Diamond Mountain terroir.
